They say I stole twenty years of Delia’s life, so five years in a cage was simply the universe balancing the scales. To ensure I played the part of the sacrificial lamb, my parents stood before the world and piled every sin, every shadow, and every lie onto my shoulders. My own brother, Larry, was the one who forced the caustic lye down my throat, searing my vocal cords so that I couldn’t scream my innocence to the rafters.
